What's up everybody! Just a quick message. We will be relaunching AllHipHop.com with the goal of keeping the community front and center. I have worked with Jamal and select moderators, to make sure The Illl Community's needs are being addressed as we evolve. We are encouraging you to use the new platform.

We will NOT be closing the current community, but we will be porting user data over to the new system over time, so please get used to using the new community!

We will be working on it every single day until it's exactly what you want!

Labels will be evaluated on the following criteria: future sales, future critical acclaim, longevity, album covers/tracklist, and cohesion. The goal of the game is to make the best label possible, I auction artist and players bid on them. Each participant start with a budget of $300 million for their label.

VOTING
Tournament matches will be best of 5, Judges must give reasons why they chose a individual's label. Judges vote after the community vote ends

*Executive Produced by Questlove unless stated otherwise*
(The Gentrification of Black is a documentary EP that explains the gentrification of Black America by analyzing events of police brutality and inner city African Americans. The goal of the documentary is to spread social awareness in Hip-Hop)

This is the folly of the internet. Its become a bastion of misinformation, rumors, conspiracies and propaganda. A place where a person with no face or name can make accusations at any time with no verification or credentials and brainwash a small segment of people.

I dont think you dropped a vote in the last one Menace and Ibex was the last round. This has been an overall shorter game (not counting all the long waits between rounds) because we had some people drop out or just vanish during before we got to the voting stage

future sales:
The GOOD ROC Foundation – both labels have a similar profile, which makes it very hard to decide who deserves the victory. Both labels have a handful of acts who can deliver big sales numbers, but I feel like Sion has one or two more, which gives him the edge in this category. His “lesser” names, as in those who might not sell millions, are likely to perform better commercially than their peers at FH&F, which secures the win here.

future critical acclaim:
Freak Hos & Flows – the amount of people on FH&F with classics or near classics already under the belt, or very likely to happen in the future, is simply overwhelming, and this goes for rappers, singers and producers.
The GOOD ROC Foundation, on the other hand, has a few acts who haven’t really proven themselves yet, nor give a great reason to believe they could deliver critically acclaimed records for many years. This isn’t to say it’s impossible, but compared to Ibex’ roster, they simply cannot compete.

longevity:
Freak Hos & Flows – on top of already being critically acclaimed, a big part of Ibex’ roster is relatively young, which gives a promise of many years active in the industry. These two combined, age and acclaim, is almost a guaranty of longevity.
ROOD ROC suffers a little under their younger acts not having proved themselves in the same manner as the counterparts. While Sions household names can go blow for blow with Ibex’, the younger division of his label costs him the win in this category.

cohesion:
Tie – as mentioned early, the labels seem to have a similar profile, with a good mix veterans and up-and-comers. Both have made sub-labels for the up-and-comers, sub-labels that are quite realistic. Given the similar profiles, this category is a tie.

album covers/tracklist:
The GOOD ROC Foundation – both players came through with some high quality work here. Their covers are fantastic, and it seems like they put in almost as much work on their tracklists. The reason I’m giving this category to Sion is, his low points aren’t as low as Ibex’. All of his covers maintain a high standard, where some of Ibex’ stuff doesn’t hold up, although this says more about how great Sions work is. Ibex’ greatest work can easily stand next to Sions. I also feel like Sion got a little more creative with collaboration projects than Ibex did.

Vote goes to: Ibex
The scoreboard says 2-2 because of one tied category, and deciding who should be the overall winner of the match up was very difficult. I was inclined to use covers as a tiebreaker, and give my vote to Sion, but reading the OP, it says, “The goal of the game is to make the best label possible”, and looking over the rosters, I feel like Ibex did this. His label has, in my opinion, a better long term profile, and if only one of the labels could exist for a long time, I believe it would be Freak Hos & Flows.

This is the folly of the internet. Its become a bastion of misinformation, rumors, conspiracies and propaganda. A place where a person with no face or name can make accusations at any time with no verification or credentials and brainwash a small segment of people.

Im gonna reach out to a few people see if i can get them to drop votes, any of you guys who were involved in the game that actually wanna drop a vote on this final battle then go for it.

I think both Sion and Ibex are two players who have not burned any bridges or made any enemies throughout this game so it would not hurt to let yall vote. I think they both on good terms with everyone who played and i dont think anybody would try to fuck em over.
